Comment 6 for bug 1287298

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if someone can PLEASE help out with the following issue I'm having.

It's about installing Ubuntu on a X551MA-SX020D ASUS laptop.

The aforementioned laptop comes with an integrated Intel ValleyView Gen7 (rev 0c) graphics board and a Realtek rtl8821ae chip for wireless connectivity.

Upon installation of Ubuntu 13.10 [default 3.11.0-12-generic kernel] all the devices are functional, *except* the rtl8821ae chip which the system simply cannot see.

By either upgrading just the kernel to 3.14 or the whole installation to 14.04 [Trusty Tahr] what I get is a functioning rtl8821ae chip and a *blank screen* [seems to just go off] just before the graphical interface is about to show...

After TONS of research I found the following thread:

which points to:

[the instructions on which I am incapable of reproducing on Ubuntu]

And also *this* thread.

What I care about is to get both the monitor's resolution and the wireless chip to function properly.
What I do NOT care about is on which kernel or version of Ubuntu.

Thank you in advance for any help.
